To date, more than 50,000 researchers signed up for the company’s bug bounty program, and approximately 1,500 of them, from 107 countries, have received a bug bounty reward, the company says.

Since 2011, Facebook received more than 130,000 vulnerability reports, but only 6,900 of these reports were awarded a bounty. Roughly 17,000 reports were received this year, with more than 1,000 of them receiving bounties.
In 2020 alone, the company awarded more than $1.98 million to security researchers from over 50 countries, and has paid two of the highest bounty rewards to date.

The most notable reports received this year, says Dan Gurfinkel, security engineering manager at Facebook, were for vulnerabilities identified in the Content Delivery Network (CDN) and in Messenger for Android.
